how can i extract a "remote tar file using ssh"? thank you

What should i do if i get an error of "attempt to access beyond end of device"? I can only go to the grub menu then after selecting an os, the error shows up and fills the screen.

First have a linux bootable floopy(cause mine does not boot in the cdrom).Pop in the first mandrake cd.Boot on the floppy; press F1 for more options(I did mine in the expert mode)Customize the partition. I did mine with this:(40g harddisk)50mb for the boot partition,512mb swap partition(twice your RAM),5.3gb for the root partition and 5.3gb for the home partition. You can do the partition anyway you want....After installing mandrake 10 install windows xp. I did mine with an unattended installation; by the way i did not take all the remaining free space i just took 15gb; be sure not to delete the linux partitions...Of course after completing the xp setup you can't boot to linux anymore; that is the time you need the linux bootable floppy...Boot from the linux floppy then press F1 for more options then type "rescue" for the rescue mode, it will ask for the disc 1 of mandrake.Pop it in. Then rescue your lilo or grub bootloader after that you can now boot to linux...Where's xp? I don't know why after rescuing the linux bootloader I can't see xp on my lilo bootloader...Logon to Linux; be sure you logon as the "root". Select configure your computer then select boot...Modify the bootloader by adding another entry which is windows;be sure to put the right hardisk partition(on the partition i did this is hda3) so it will know where to find windows.Reboot...now you have a dual boot of linux mandrake 10 and windows xp. All comments and suggestions are welcome, I hope this will help others who are new to linux like me. Good day...

Sorry guys. I have been busy lately...By the way echo kilo what is the error?...In reply to danleff; I did not use any utilities. I chose NTFS For XP and ext3 for Mandrakelinux. And to make it more clear I used lilo and installed it to the master boot record(IDE hardrive). Here's my current configuration 3.9gb root partition(ext3-hda5), 800mb swap(hda6) and 1.9gb for the home partition(ext3-hda7),15gb for xp(NTFS-hda2)and the rest are two primary partitions which I'm planning to install another OS and the other one will serve as backup...I did the same process. Thanks to all of you ...

can anyone tell on how to setup peer to peer networking on linux and xp? thanks...

hi i'm a newbie in linux..i have a major problem when doing a dual boot of linux mandrake 10.0 and windows xp pro...i have read and tried many tutorials and still doesn't work...i installed xp first then mandrake;the problem is i can't configure mandrake to install it's bootloader to the choices it just install to the mbr that's why i can't boot to xp.after i used fixmbr" in the recovery console...when i reboot it says error loading os. what should i do? can you send a me step by step tutorial...

Write support to ntfs from Linux is still developing. It is not considered safe yet. It is best to have a fat32 partition as a share drive to store files that you would want to share between the two operating systems. You were able to get around the issue of Windows overwriting the MBR and setting up Grub or lilo to boot Windows? Thanks for the advice...I don't like fat32 because it is not secure as ntfs...On your question yes...I thought it was imposible...I read all the threads regarding this; and all i see is setup xp then linux...i'll just post my tutorial which is the opposite.thank you...

thanks for the advice, but i have tried them all before...well, somehow i discovered a solution...mandrake first then xp(more easier)...i would like to ask if you know any utility on how to write to an ntfs partition...thanks...

Yes, it is a new install. Fixboot doesn't help either.Is there any other way aside from partition magic? The problem is i can't boot to xp anymore? And when is used fixmbr, i can;t load any os at all...
